Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 118

Natalia’s lips were a tight line as she faced the man before her. She could still hear Alden’s words in her head. Orpheus had been reprimanded by Hamilton for meddling in business that wasn’t his to meddle with.

So, now, she instinctively gave this man a wide berth.

“Sorry, I’ve got to run.*

With that, she sidestepped Orpheus and headed straight for the private room.

Orpheus didn’t stop her. He just watched until she disappeared inside the room, then a cold smirk flashed across his otherwise fierce face.

“Go, pick the best–looking escort we’ve got and make sure he takes good care of that lady tonight.”

The man beside him hesitated and asked, “Boss, who is she?”

Orpheus let out a chilling laugh, “Hamilton’s woman. I want to see what happens when she cheats on him.”

His eyes gleamed with malice. He also wanted to test if Hamilton was really as untouchable as he seemed.

No sooner had Natalia entered the private room than she was met with a cacophony of howls and laughter.

Tess, the carefree spirit at work, had dressed to kill tonight. Spotting Natalia, she was the first

to rush over.

“Boss, you finally made it! What took you so long?”

Natalia chuckled, “You’re the ones who are early. If only you were this eager at work, I’d give you bonuses every month.”

Tess stuck out her tongue playfully, then glanced behind Natalia and asked, “Did you really come alone?”

Natalia didn’t reply, just walked further into the room.

Tess followed and said, “We all brought our other halves tonight, and here you are, solo. It’s kinda awkward. Should I call a friend over for you? You could meet someone new.”

Natalia smiled, “Tess, no more jokes. I’m just here for a bit and then I’m gone. You guys have fun.”

Tess wanted to hook Natalia up; it seemed a crime for such a stunning woman to be single. But Natalia’s attitude left her no choice but to let it go.
